In this episode, we cover the importance of:
- Setting personal and work boundaries to prevent burnout (again!)
- Tapping into the skill sets and productivity of others as a leader so others feel like they can accomplish anything
- Coaching and asking questions to guide your kids’ actions and have them own their decisions
- 5x more positive reinforcement compared to negative feedback with ASBI model
- Ask permission to ensure you have your kid’s focus
- Describe the situation, behaviour and impact specifically
- Trial and error, and repeating the things that work with your kids
- Accountability for maintaining consistency in your household
- Flexing and bending to your kids’ personality type, letting them thrive in their natural state so they feel limitless, rather than forcing them to fit the mold you think is right
- Psychological safety in your home
